The Dos and Don’ts of Drama, with ‘Degrassi’: Taking the Stand

I’ve gotta say, I wasn’t expecting Fiona’s deposition against Bobby, her boyfriend who physically abused her last season, to be so fascinating. Fiona’s always been a flaky, spoiled rich girl, yet in “Chasing Pavements, Part 1″ we see her as a recovering addict who manages to keep a tight grip on her strength even as Bobby tries to paint her as her former self. Spoiler: She wins! But not without several interesting plotlines being set up for next week… Like when she tries to make out with Holly J!

1) why is this whole thing going down in civil court? basically, bobby will just pay compensatory damages to fiona, and the whole thing will probably be hidden behind a confidentiality agreement. i don’t really see that as bobby “paying for what he did.” a criminal case might be weak, but they should have at least tried.
2) where the f is eli? all we get is a snippet in a preview for next week of him going batshit crazy, but he’s nowhere to be seen in this episode.

There’s only three episodes left apparently, so I assume next week is gonna wrap up the Fiona/Holly J mess, then the final two will be Eli/Clare drama. I just hope they’re exciting enough to merit a spot in the season finale!
